Long session as Manitoba lawmakers clash over bills and racing
The May session opens with a long list of issues including a Medicare bill, single school districts, and a measure to extend horse racing at Assiniboia Downs. Debates feature Desjardins filibuster, opposition by Cherniak, and a split on gambling concerns. Two lone dissenters Froese and Campbell defy the House on key votes as prorogation looms.
